Description

This area is about 30 min. past The Safe Zone and easily seen from the kiosk at the East Entrance.

Getting There

Park before you get to the East entrance Kiosk (same as for the Safe Zone), hike up past the Safe Zone, hike past the next group of climbs (Safe Sex Zone), and keep on hiking until you come to the Great White Face. You can't really see the formation on the hike in until you are almost to it.
